ΛNNΞ asked Abigail Roux:

I was very excited to hear that you identify on the asexual spectrum. How do you feel your asexuality affects your writing? Since you do not experience sexual attraction (or experience it rarely), what do you draw on when you write (particularly when it comes to sex)? Does being asexual have anything to do with the fact that you write most m/m? I also identify as ace and love your books! Thanks!!!

Abigail Roux The Ace Spectrum is a spectrum because there are so many points on it. I'm still kind of trying to figure out where on that spectrum I land, but I think it's closer to the demisexual end of it. As far as it affecting my writing, or the genre I choose to write in, I don't really think it does. Writers draw on all sorts of experiences, emotions, moments, and intuition about life and living. There are so many things that I've never experienced that I like to think I'm able to write about with accuracy and genuine emotion, that something as simple as sexual attraction is incredibly easy for me to draw on past experience in order to include in my writing.
